[Administration and Dosage]
Administration:

inject i.v.gtt or i.v. The product may be diluted with 5% glucose injection or sodium chloride injection for intravenous drip by blood transfusion apparatus with sieve. The dripping speed shall not exceed 2 ml/min. Note that the foresaid speed is gradually achieved, for the speed should be kept very slow within the first 15 minutes.
Dosage: at the direction of the physician. For shocks caused by severe burns or blood loss, inject 5～10 g of the product twice at an interval of 4～6 hours. For chronic albumin deficiency such as nephrosis and cirrhosis, inject daily 5～10 g of the product till the disappear of edema and the serum albumin back to normal.

[Pharmacology & Toxicology]
1. Increasing blood volume and maintaining plasma colloid osmotic pressure: The albumin constitutes 80% of the plasma colloid osmotic pressure and mainly regulates the dynamic balance of water content between tissues and vessels. Since the albumin has higher molecular weight than salts and water, it penetrates the membranes more slowly, when the colloid osmotic pressure of albumin rivals the static pressure of capillaries, so as to maintain the normal and constant blood volume. During blood circulation, 1 g of albumin will retain 18 ml of water, and the water retention ability of every 5 g of albumin equals to 100 ml of plasma or 200 ml of whole blood. Therefore, it can increase the blood volume and maintain the plasma colloid osmotic pressure.
2. Transportation and detoxification: The albumin can combine with both anions and cations, so it can transport different substances, and even transport toxic substances to detoxifying organs. 
3. Nutrition supply: Histones and plasma proteins are interconvertible. When metabolic disturbance of nitrogen occurs, the albumin can supply nutrition as nitrogen source.
